One appears in the inn (Stag and Lion?) in Baerlon, yup. In the PC game, Fades only turned up in shadows which were at least as tall as they were. Then they sort of... rotated into being, almost the way I imagine a Gateway forming. They start as a thin line then flesh out. And disappear...

Re: 2015 Re-Readalong: TGH Chapters 45-50 I don't think she was being fair to Egwene in the slightest. I appreciate that she doesn't get access to Egwene's thoughts like we do, but at the same time, it was hardly like Egwene just woke up one morning and went "Oh I'm going to be Aes Sedai and...

Re: 2015 Re-Readalong: TGH Chapters 45-50 This, absolutely!! Also Wil, I'd never really picked that up about the archer in Fal Dara. But it being a Gray Man makes perfect sense.

Re: 2015 Re-Readalong: TGH Chapters 2-9 I took the unseen eyes to be some kind of offshoot of the fact that Fain was there. They had the same kind of sensation in Shadar Logoth - the watchers from within the buildings. Combine that with the wind blowing from the Blight...

Re: 2015 Re-Readalong: EoTW, 49-53; TGH Pro & 1 I tended to read the "Blind the Eye of the World" as he was going to use it/have Aginor & Balthamel use it for nefarious purposes. Removing the pure saidin, the centre of the eye (the pupil, if you will) that could be effectively "blinding" it...

Re: 2015 Re-Readalong: EoTW, Chapter 42 - Chapter 48 I've always read Elaida's response as "I could do this for one farm, but you must choose it and then explain to the other hundred farms why they are not getting the same treatment." So yeah, the sort of "sometimes hard decisions must be...

Re: 2015 Re-Readalong: EoTW, Chapter 28 - Chapter 34 I can cope with reading it. But listening to it was too much, somehow. I can't explain why. It got to me, and as I was listening to it when I was driving, being in floods of tears wouldn't have been great :|

Re: 2015 Re-Readalong: EoTW, Chapter 28 - Chapter 34 I have to admit that I skipped the part where Hopper died when listening to the book :look All I can think is that Hopper being dead allows him to become Perrin's guide in the Wolf Dream/Tel'aran'rhiod later. It also, in some ways, cements...

Re: 2015 Re-Readalong: EoTW, Chapter 28 - Chapter 34 I agree completely. I'd loved to have seen inside his head before he got all mixed up by the dagger and the healing. Heck I don't think we get a PoV from him until book 3, do we? The first I remember is when he wakes up in the White Tower.

Re: 2015 Re-Readalong: EoTW, Chapter 21 - Chapter 27 Aah thanks, I couldn't remember if she said when it had been arranged. I agree that something must have prompted her to do that - Min seems a likely idea. Obviously Myrelle didn't know initially who she was holding the bond for (other than...

Re: 2015 Re-Readalong: EoTW, Chapter 21 - Chapter 27 I forget the exact timing of it, as I've not read the last 2 books as often as the preceding ones. Nynaeve takes the full test to the Raised, and then marches off to find Myrelle and snatches the Bond off her. I don't know ifi Mat and Thom...

Re: 2015 Re-Readalong: EoTW, Chapter 21 - Chapter 27 The thing is that "The Song" was found - I'm sure I read somewhere that it's the song Rand is singing at the start of um... AMoL, I think it is. But as others have said, the Travelling People wouldn't have recognised it as the song they...

Re: 2015 Re-Readalong: EoTW, Chapter 21 - Chapter 27 One thing which struck me as I read this was the Rand/Egwene thing. Obviously now I'm reading with the knowledge of what's to come. But it's interesting to see how hard they both fight to hold on to this "not quite relationship" - almost as...

Re: 2015 Re-Readalong: EoTW, Chapter 14 - Chapter 20 Bornhald Elder catches Perrin.

Re: 2015 Re-Readalong: EoTW, Chapter 14 - Chapter 20 It's definitely Bornhald the younger - one of the other Whitecloaks addresses him as "Lord Bornhald" or something. He's definitely called by name, anyway. Presumably he hasn't been called to Tar Valon yet.

Re: 2015 Re-Readalong: EoTW, Chapter 14 - Chapter 20 Min is cool up until the point where she attaches herself to Rand and never leaves again. I liked her when she was helping Siuan and Leane.

Re: 2015 Re-Readalong: EoTW, Chapter 14 - Chapter 20 It took me ages to work that out. The only one I recognised the first couple of times was on the road to Caemlyn :lol

Re: 2015 Re-Readalong: EoTW, Chapter 14 - Chapter 20 I tend to see the Tairens as being somewhat Asian in colouring - anywhere from Indian to Chinese. Not sure why! I felt like this was ta'veren pulling. There's some comment about how Ara seems almost surprised to be talking. It's after...

Re: 2015 Re-Readalong: EoTW, Chapter 7 - Chapter 13 I agree Myralin. It's such a steep learning curve for them, poor things.

Re: 2015 Re-Readalong: EoTW, Chapter 7 - Chapter 13 That was Aginor - he and Balthamel (sp?) were bound nearest the "outside" so to speak, so appeared old/withered/falling to bits. I forget how Ishy appears, other than after he is burned by Rand using the EotW, he is wears a mask til he...
